David Martyn Lloyd-Jones

From the outset of his ministry in South Wales in 1927 Dr. Lloyd-Jones was an evangelistic preacher, as can be seen in this collection of 21 sermons from his ministry there. As with the early preaching of George Whitefield and Robert M'Cheyne, they show why the gospel is the most urgent, glorious and transforming of all messages. As a book specifically on the subject of conversion and the beginning of the Christian life, the publishers believe this will be one of the most popular and valuable of all the Lloyd-Jones titles. - Back cover.

A modern classic on the call to preach. For over 30 years, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones ministered at Westminster Chapel in London. Today, he is widely considered one of the greatest preachers of the 20th century. Based on a series of lectures originally given by Lloyd-Jones to the students of Westminster Theological Seminary in the spring of 1969, this collection of essays on the essence of powerful preaching has since become a modern classic. Lloyd-Jones defends the primacy of preaching, showing that there is no substitute, and he challenges preachers to take their calling seriously: "The most urgent need in the Christian Church today is true preaching." This 40th Anniversary Edition includes the original text of Preaching and Preachers along with essays by Bryan Chapell, Mark Dever, Kevin DeYoung, Ligon Duncan, Timothy Keller, and John Piper reflecting on the impact this book and the ministry of Lloyd-Jones had on their preaching. - Jacket.

From 1952 to 1955, Martyn Lloyd-Jones offered a series of messages in the Westminster Chapel in London on doctrine. God the Holy Spirit is the second volume in a three-part study entitled, Great Doctrines of the Bible and is a result of those great meetings. The author has a passion to communicate in-depth doctrinal truth on a practical level. While doctrine is stressed, experiencing and living out that doctrine play a critical role in this book. The intent is to deepen the reader's knowledge and love for God. Building upon the foundation of the messages entitled, "God the Father and God the Son," Lloyd-Jones proceeds to explain the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. The author differentiates between general and effectual calling, discusses the significance of Pentecost, and covers the Holy Spirit's responsibility in regeneration, conversion, repentance, justification by faith, and adoption. The author progressively builds upon previous doctrinal truth and stresses the importance of the order of salvation. He embraces the Reformed view (i.e. the biblical view) that regeneration precedes faith. The predominant views concerning sanctification are discussed as well as the baptism of the Spirit and the filling of the Spirit. The book concludes with a section that deals with the sealing of the Spirit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This work is filled with rich doctrinal truth from the pen of a truly great expository preacher and theologian. Lloyd-Jones teaches with precision. His words challenge the head and touch the heart. His writing is clear and loaded with logic. The main points are hammered again and again in the head of the reader. The author has a winsome way of promoting Reformed theology. - Dr. David Steele on amazon.com
